Can we send it to battle?
yes we can
no we can't
And risk getting your very important Pokédex damaged?
Would be cool if he was like Watabou in Dragon Quest Monsters who joins you after your journey is done and you saved the world and don't need his guidance anymore

I hope not.
The Pokédex is for learning not for batting.

Could be Psychic type Rotom
I hope there's an option to get a Rotom-Dex for battling with at some point, but I have a feeling they'd make it an event 'mon.
Electric/Psychic, gains Psystrike (fuck you I can dream).

Much like the ride-able pokemon, it's not a true party pokemon.
